New Shawnimals Ninjatown Game Coming To iPhone

Venan Entertainment today announced Ninjatown: Trees of Doom!, their latest game for the iPhone and iPod Touch in collaboration with designer toy studio Shawnimals. You might recognize Venan from their previous game, Space Miner: Space Ore Bust, which came out earlier this year.

Ninjatown: Trees of Doom! is a high-score game where the character of Ol’ Master Ninja must run vertically between two trees, jumping to avoid enemies and obstacles. Some of these include other characters from the Shawnimals franchise, which might be familiar to anyone who has played the Nintendo DS Ninjatown game.

Series creator Shawn Smith told Gamepro that the Ninjatown iPhone game would be controlled entirely by swipes and flicks, instead of through tilt like its inspiration Doodle Jump. Shawn also cited Canabalt as an influence on the game’s design.

Ninjatown has integrated Plus+ technology for global leaderboards and awards, and also Facebook and Twitter support for those who like to share their high scores and progress with friends. Watch out for our review of Ninjatown: Trees of Doom! when it hits the App store in a couple weeks at the price of $1.99.

Despite being born a rhino, Kevin Wild managed to have a normal childhood save from the constant teasing he received. During Grade 8, he received a reverse rhinoplasty which allowed him to live a normal life. In his spare time from defeating super villains and saving the world, Kevin enjoys long walks on the beach and sunsets (who doesnâ€™t?). Ever since he unlocked â€œbig head modeâ€ in GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64, he has been hooked on gaming. Considered a religion to him, he spends the majority of his spare time playing on every platform imaginable. Currently, he dreams to marry a Jennifer Aniston/Walrus hybrid (blame the rhino in him) and get a 3D animation degree so he can turn her into a video game. Kevin also enjoys playing games on his iPhone when he takes a break from world domination and hopes you will follow him on Twitter.
